Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy

On tonight’s show, Nicci Micco, Senior Editor with Eating Well Magazine (One of Dr. Fitness and The Fat Guy’s Favorite Magazines), joined us to discuss an article in the upcoming edition about food allergies. Nicci said that any food can cause an allergic reaction but 90% of the time one of the Big 8 Foods is the trigger…Do you want to know what those Big 8 foods are? I bet you do… They are: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish or shellfish. How’s that for some good information. Eating Well magazine is a great resource for great information about food and eating well. I promise you that you will not find better photographs in any magazine, I don’t care about the genre. Check out the Eating Well website www.eatingwell.com and subscribe to their free email newsletters and check out the amazing cookbooks and other great stuff on this site. And please don’t forget to subscribe to the magazine you’ll love it. We are so pleased that Nicci will be coming back on the show regularly to share her insight about all things food.

And what a treat it was to have Dr. Melina Jampolis on to discuss her new book “The No Time To Lose Diet.” You might remember Dr. Melina from Fit TV’s Diet Doctor show that airs almost daily it seems.

Remember we are now on every morning in Michigan. On radio station WKNW. They asked us to create a Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy “Wellness Minute.” So now a new Wellness Minute runs on that station each morning at around 7:40. Each Wellness Minute features the doctor and I going over 5 of his best tips on a given wellness subject like: losing weight, getting in shape, living a healthy lifestyle, etc. We’re working on ways to make those tips available to all our listeners. If you have a favorite radio station that you think would benefit from our Wellness Minutes send them an email telling them about it and who knows maybe you can hear us everyday too.

Also once again, I need you to please do me a favor. My nine year kid Max made his radio debut in his new show “Kid Power Radio.” This is a great show for your kids. It is kind of like a kids version of David Spade’s “Showbiz Show” on Comedy Central or Entertainment Tonight mixed in with a little Wayne’s World. Max recaps the week in entertainment and gives his take and review of what he liked and didn’t like on TV, at the movies, video games, in books and in music and even restaurant reviews. Please go to his site and download the show for your kid. He had a big show recently he interviewed Meatwad from Aqua Teen Hunger Force on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. And if your kid sends Max an email he’ll read it on the air next week. The show can be found at www.kidpowerradio.com and you can email Max at RadioStarMax at Yahoo.com. Your encouragement is greatly appreciated.  Thanks to you his show is rocketing up the charts!!!

Dr. Fitness had some really good tips about how to get the most out of your workout in 2007. Here are a few of Dr. Fitness’ tips…Number 1, get your workout done early in the day. Number 2, pick an activity that you love to do. And Number 3, get a partner…you will slip up, lose interest and have setbacks…a partner watches your back to get you back on track. There was a lot more from Dr. Fitness, so you will have to listen to the show to find out all the rest of these great tips. And I’m sure he’ll post all the tips on his blog.

Don’t forget to check out the Fat Guy’s new website www.GymsAreARipOff.com the Fat Guy thinks that gyms prey upon sedentary people and basically take their money knowing full well that they will stop going to the gym in a matter of weeks. So check out the Fat Guys “Gyms Are A Rip Off” blog and submit your gym horror story. It seems that people are frustrated by the broken promises their gym gave them when they joined and also they are usually disappointed when their hometown gym gets bought out by a large national corporate chain. Service usually goes downhill fast.
